"Really?" The mother and son looked at her in surprise.
"Yeah!" Lin Lan told them the source of the news.
The three of them laughed happily. Lin Guodong thought of Zhao Xiaohui's narrow-mindedness. Before he came here, he was still mumbling, asking him to see what the house was like? He was still worried that all the money would be wasted.
The mother and son talked happily for a while, and Wu Shufen asked them to help Lin Lan dig out the vegetable field and trim the fence.
Seeing that they were busy working for him again, Lin Lan hurriedly said: "Eldest brother, second brother, you can rest for a while before going back."
Lin Guodong smiled and waved his hand: "It's not tiring to ride in the car. You are busy all day long. We are here to help you make something, so you can get more rest."
Lin Guoliang walked a few steps and suddenly remembered the news he heard in the car: "Xiaolan, we heard in the car that several production teams' chickens and ducks were stolen. I think it's the end of the year, so I'd better put the chicken pens away
Go to the back corridor of the west wing to take care of yourself."
Wu Shufen kept saying, "Yes, yes, yes! Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst. There are a lot of petty thefts at the end of every year, so hurry up and put the chickens in the yard and lock them up."
Lin Lan nodded: "Brother, you can lock me up wherever you see fit."
The two brothers nodded and went to the backyard to look around. They chopped bamboo and split bamboo pieces to block the corridor in the west wing. They moved the chicken coop to the eaves and left fence gates in the front and back for easy access. Then they arrested him.
Call the chickens to the aisle with some chicken food and lock them up.
Lin Guodong looked at some bright-colored chickens: "Brother, Xiaolan, these chickens are really good. Next year we will fence the outside of the pig farm and keep a few roosters for breeding, and castrate all the others."
Lin Guoliang nodded with a smile: "Okay, in the beginning of spring, I will go up to the mountains to dig more vine peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. I will plant roses around the pig farm, and I can also pick vine peppers and Sichuan peppercorns."
The two brothers closed the chicken and walked toward the private plot outside with their hoes.
Wu Shufen took out the silk quilt, cotton-padded clothes made of silk floss, cotton trousers, and cotton shoes from the back of her quilt and put them on the bed.
"Mom made the inner tube separately, and the lining and blouse separately. When you wash, you can separate the lining and blouse, so you don't have to wash the silk floss into clumps."
"Yeah!" Lin Lan leaned against Wu Shufen, touching the soft cotton clothes and pants, feeling warm in her heart, "Thank you, Mom!"
Wu Shufen patted her daughter and said, "Mom is relieved that you are fine."
Lin Lan nodded: "You should also be good."
Wu Shufen smiled and said: "We are fine! Your dad slept until dawn now and looks better."
Lin Lan didn't plan to go to work anymore: "Xiang Yang brought the big bones, pork belly and fat intestines. I went to wash them and cook them for lunch."
Wu Shufen said softly: "If people treat you well, you should also treat them well and don't be petty."
"I know, I'm going to wash the fat intestines and pig belly." Lin Lan looked at her with a smile, "I'll call my uncle and Dandan to eat together later."
Wu Shufen nodded, and the mother and daughter packed up the things on the bed and went to the kitchen together.
"What is steaming in your pot right now?"
"Soybeans and large white beans, I plan to make bean paste and refried beans when I get back from work."
Wu Shufen asked: "I used to start doing it in the afternoon, is it so early now?"
Lin Lan smiled and said: "Business is better than before after the weather cools down. Brothers Zhixue and Zhilin sell in the city, and the sales in the morning and evening are better."
Wu Shufen looked at her distressedly: "No wonder you are not fat at all, but have lost some weight."
Lin Lan pulled up his sleeves and exposed his forearms: "Look how strong I am."
"The bigger it gets, the better it gets." Wu Shufen looked at her and laughed.
Lin Lan took out the steel pot and asked Wu Shufen to ignite the charcoal fire and burn the water. She took the intestines and pork belly to the edge of the ditch. She turned the intestines and pork belly over and started cleaning. The water in the ditch was cool after washing for a long time.
It feels a bit biting.
I washed it twice at the ditch and continued washing it with hot water at home.
Wu Shufen blanched the big bones and washed them. She turned around and saw Lin Lan grabbing a handful of salt and putting it in the intestines. She patted her distressedly: "Ha! That's salt. You need money to buy it. Give me the intestines and you can pull them out."
Come back with a few radishes."
Lin Lan was found by her mother to be wasting things, so she had no choice but to get out of the way and go to the vegetable patch to pull green onions, radishes, and lettuce.

When Li Xiangyang arrived at the joint defense team, he saw the Dongzi brothers already waiting at the gate.
Xu Dong's eldest brother's name is Xu Ming. He is as tall and thin as Dongzi, but looks gentler than him. He is a history teacher in the city's No. 1 Middle School. He likes to collect old-fashioned furniture and some antiquities.
Li Xiangyang smiled and said: "Brother, I heard from Dongzi that you have a lot of old-fashioned furniture piled up in your yard. Can you sell a few pieces? At the current price!"
Xu Ming said cheerfully: "It has been hard to find in the past few years. If you are lucky, you can find two good items. Let's go to the warehouse of the largest scrap collection station in the south of the city first, and then go to other places. If we are not satisfied, we will
Go and choose from me."
Xu Dong looked at him and smiled: "I still remember that my parents used to scold you, saying that you exchanged all your salary for a pile of rotten wood and rotten porcelain jars!"
Xu Ming nodded: "Yes! If your sister-in-law hadn't disliked me, I would have become an old bachelor."
Several people rode bicycles to the warehouse of the Chengnan Scrap Collection Station. Xu Ming said hello to the old man guarding the gate and took the two of them to the warehouse behind.
A large yard, with a shed built in the yard, filled with messy things.
Li Xiangyang saw a few bicycle wheels in the pile of scraps. His eyes lit up. He planned to buy one and find someone to weld a carriage for Xiaolan, then build a shed and hang it on the back of the bicycle. Then he could pull it to the eucalyptus forest.
Even if it rains, there is a place to take shelter when setting up stalls.
Xu Ming led the two of them into a room and saw that the room was full of old furniture. He turned to look at the two of them:
"Let's search separately. If we find something we like, take it out and I'll check it again. If it's good, we'll buy it back."
The two of them nodded in agreement and started rummaging through a pile of old furniture.
Li Xiangyang searched for a long time and found a pile of furniture covered with thick dust under a pile of tables and chairs that smelled of decay. He touched it casually and felt the carved patterns.
He lifted up a wooden box that was piled on top and wiped off the dust on it. The paint on the black and red box was already mottled.
Li Xiangyang liked its color and texture a little bit. He put down the box, moved everything else to the door, and found Xu Ming who was rummaging in another room: "Brother, go and take a look at the things I found."
"Okay!" Xu Ming put down the things in his hands and followed Li Xiangyang to the door of the corner room. He looked at the box that Li Xiangyang had cleaned for a while. "It's made of rosewood. The material and texture are good. You can buy it."
Xu Dong also found a few items over there. Xu Ming took out the ones he selected after looking at them. He called the old man who came to see the door and gave him a bag of heavy nine and ten yuan. Each person spent dozens of dollars.
